Desmos Reviews & Product Details

The many calculators and the graphing parts were very helpful. The way that some parts automatically fit what you are trying to write. Unlike its competitors, it does not have ads and can be accessed very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much that I don't like, everything works fine without problems. However, I kind of wish that there were brief explanations on how to use the tools provided, other than that I think it's good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Desmos is one of the best and most unique ways to support students as they learn math. The activity builder allows teachers to teach both synchronously and asynchronously and scaffold student learning through investigation. The ability to include graphs, tables, activities, and videos in the same activity truly supports student learning. Additionally, teachers can create custom self-checking activities that are both engaging for students and provide essentially unlimited practice on a given skill. Finally, teachers in the Desmos community are amazing at helping fellow community members and are always available and willing to share ideas and resources! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While this is not a true dislike, more intuitive computation layer would be helpful as teachers learn to build their own activities. However, Desmos provides training and support in computation layer, so it is fully supported. Further, the Desmos community is extremely helpful as well! Desmos is truly the best!

Desmos is primarily a graphing calculator. Yes, it can be used as a platform for instruction, but it is intended as a free online graphing calculator, which is what it does best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Though it is listed as one, functionally, Desmos is not a good platform for instruction; it is nothing like Kahn Academy or Canvas. It is just a calculator. I would advise against using it as your classroom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Desmos helps a lot in making the learning and understanding of complex concepts easier. The visualisation of the concepts is well done. If you are a maths teacher, this is such a powerful tool for you to teach the students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use is not there, for a new user it takes a time to get used to the tool which can be a downside from the perspective of a student. So the UX can me mde better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used to be the old-fashioned type of person who only likes physical calculators. I felt that they helped me learn and understand more. That is until I began using Desmos for myself and my students. Not only does Desmos have a graphing calculator function, but there are many other types of math tools and resources that improve student learning and success. I used Desmos as a student and continue to do so as a substitute teacher. Students of all ages now use Desmos, so I have become very familiar with the application and administering it to students of all ages since I have been substitute teaching. The students even have the app downloaded on their computers/iPads. I have also downloaded the app to help with student learning as well as the times that I need to solve or assist with math problems. The part I like most about Desmos is that it is accessible and applicable for both students of all ages and teachers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Desmos is so easy to use! It is exceptionally user-friendly and my students enjoy using it. I do too! There is honestly nothing I dislike about Desmos or its services. It's great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Desmos is very user-friendly for students. Students are able to interact with Desmos more than a standard graphing calculator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Desmos "Classroom" activities are difficult to construct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Desmos is the perfect tool for creating graphs of both simple and complicated formulas, and relaying data. Honestly, it's basic, but the best feature is the color coding scheme it uses to differentiate between different equations or data sets. I also enjoy that it is very simple to learn and use, that you can make an account and save projects, and that it can produce any mathematical equation (and let you quickly change and tweak the formulas).

The only feature I dislike is that it is cumbersome to give a name label to an equation directly on the graph. For a table of data, I believe this is easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a great way to organize lessons during hybrid teaching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be tricky for youngest learners to navigate. I wish it were more friendly for early elementary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an AVID tutor, the thing I found most helpful about Desmos is that anyone with a computer can use it. Instead of explaining how to do a function or formula on whichever calculator each individual student has or uses in class, I was able to use Desmos as the standardized calculator in my tutor groups.

The only thing that I dislike about Desmos is that it can be slow to type symbols into the interface with a laptop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that i can used the graphing and calculating tool whenever needed, even with the online version is a pretty good adnatage. I used to depend on my physical calculator way back and now have shifted mostly to Desmos for most of my quick scientific calcs and plotting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of the part is satsfactory and this comment is more of an open area for improvement. The export tool allows to export the graphs, but the flexibility in editing the graph for a presentation-ready format could be much more useful and i hope its available in the future.
